Caryl Cheeseman is President of Caryl's Pool & Spa. In the above photo, she is featured with husband and CEO, David Cheeseman. They, along with their staff, work tirelessly to see that Greensboro's pools and spas have sparkling water and balanced chemicals. When you frequent their shop, located at 2616 Lawndale Drive, you realize quickly that Caryl and her staff are helpful, service oriented and friendly. Caryl has worked in the pool and spa business in Greensboro for 38 years. If she looks familiar and you don't have a pool, you may recognize her from her Christmas store. For many years, the pool shop transformed into a Christmas store during the winter months.
When asked what she likes about living here, Caryl told us the story about her first impressions of Greensboro. She was in a small plane one Thanksgiving, about 40 years ago, en route to Williamsburg, Virginia. Due to bad weather, they had to divert and land in Greensboro. While here, they took a taxi downtown and Caryl commented that she would love living in Greensboro. It would be a great place to raise children, having a small town feel with big city amenities. Little did she realize, the very next year, she and her family would relocate here. She went from moving almost every year- for business reasons, to staying in Greensboro permanently. Caryl says, no matter where she vacations or travels, she always loves coming home to Greensboro. It is so clean and beautiful. She loves the city, her job, and all the friends she has made here. Caryl also enjoys spending time with her family and knitting.
Today is ABC Wednesday, and for our ABC People Series, "C" is for "Caryl." Lucky for Greensboro, she landed here!
Her dress looks like poolwear. Where's the tiki bar?

maintaining the residents Spa's and Pools?
